Swan paddleboats

April 19, 2018 by Staff Writer

The City of New Bedford and La Gondola, Inc. launched swan paddleboats at Buttonwood Park’s pond on 4/14, offering a fun new recreation activity to one of the city’s most historic and cherished parks.

The boats are operated by La Gondola, Inc., which since 2004 also operates swan paddleboats at Roger Williams Park in Providence, R.I. The company’s owners and operators, Allen and Cynthia Days, approached the City about establishing a swan boat concession in New Bedford at Buttonwood Park, and have worked with City departments to plan the program and tailor it to the City.

The white swan boats can easily be operated by just one person and can accommodate up to four passengers, depending on size; life jackets will be provided.
